As global smartphone producers shift focus to the low-end market, Huawei Consumer Business Group (Uganda) has unveiled two new entry-level smartphones dubbed ‘Huawei Y3II and Y5II’ from its Y-series generation of smartphones. The Huawei Y3II and Y5II are targeted at that first-time smartphone owner, or that person that is upgrading from a feature phone to
a smartphone and as well are meant for that person on a budget but would like a quick replacement of a phone.

Both the Y3II and Y5II come with a unique feature labelled ‘Easy Key’, which is a function that gives the user a shorter path to their favorite content with a simple press, double –press or press and hold. The ‘Easy Key’ button basically remembers a certain function assigned to it. The Y3II device sports a feature named ‘Rainbow Light’, which lights up when one gets a call, communicating alerts and notification in vibrant colour around the rear camera.

Jean Baguma Marketing Manager Huawei Device Uganda said, ‘Huawei has unveiled the Y3II and Y5II with ridiculously budget friendly and competitive prices, to appeal to the low-end smartphone market with Recommended Retail Prices of UGX 286,000 for the Huawei Y3 II and UGX 413,600 for the Y5 II. With these affordable prices, customers can enjoy
value for money with these two smartphones that come with first-class features.’

Baguma added that Huawei understands that the low-end smartphones have the ability to grow market share currently as informed by users in Uganda that are continuously shifting from feature to smartphones usage. This deeper knowledge of the local consumer market dynamics in Uganda coupled with Huawei’s ability to build first-class software meant to run on simple and cheaper hardware, has prompted the release of these two compelling smartphones, the Y3II and Y5II.
